PARAGRAPH FORMATTING
There are some formatting features that get applied to an entire paragraph or paragraphs, but not to any given character or a group thereof. Such formatting features are described as Paragraph formatting.
It provides the following options:
Alignment: The alignment of a paragraph may be left, center, right or justify.
Indentation: Indents are the left and right boundaries of selected paragraphs within a document. This may b e necessary when different paragraphs have different left and right boundaries. For example, we can see the indentation in poems. The indentation options available in most word processors are Left and Right. Apart from these, we can have special indentation in the form of First Line and Hanging.
Spacing: This option allows us to have some space before and/or after a paragraph or a group of paragraphs. We can select the paragraph(s) and select or type in the desired value against the appropriate option – Before or After. These values are measured in points.
There is also a Line spacing option, which decides on the spacing between the lines of the paragraph. Normally we will type with the value Single for it. But if we want to have more space between the lines, we can select 1.5 lines or Double for it.
